Forward
Every new electronic product, except those that are battery powered, requires converting off-line 115 Vac or 230 Vac power to some dc voltage for powering the electronics. The availability of design and application information and highly integrated semiconductor control ICs for switching power supplies allows the designer to complete this portion of the system design quickly and easily. Whether you are an experienced power supply designer, designing your first switching power supply or responsible for a make or buy decision for power supplies, the variety of information in the SWITCHMODE Power Supplies Reference Manual and Design Guide should prove useful. ON Semiconductor has been a key supplier of semiconductor products for switching power supplies since we introduced bipolar power transistors and rectifiers designed specifically for switching power supplies in the mid-70's. We identified these as SWITCHMODE products. A switching power supply designed using ON Semiconductor components can rightfully be called a SWITCHMODE power supply or SMPS. This brochure contains useful background information on switching power supplies for those who want to have more meaningful discussions and are not necessarily experts on power supplies. It also provides real SMPS examples, and identifies several application notes and additional design resources available from ON Semiconductor, as well as helpful books available from various publishers and useful web sites for those who are experts and want to increase their expertise. An extensive list and brief description of analog ICs, power transistors, rectifiers and other discrete components available from ON Semiconductor for designing a SMPS are also provided. This includes our newest GreenLine, Easy Switcher and very high voltage ICs (VHVICs), as well as high efficiency HDTMOS and HVTMOS power FETs, and a wide choice of discrete products in surface mount packages.

Introduction
The never-ending drive towards smaller and lighter products poses severe challenges for the power supply designer. In particular, disposing of excess heat generated by power semiconductors is becoming more and more difficult. Consequently it is important that the power supply be as small and as efficient as possible, and over the years power supply engineers have responded to these challenges by steadily reducing the size and improving the efficiency of their designs. Switching power supplies offer not only higher efficiencies but also greater flexibility to the designer. Recent advances in semiconductor, magnetic and passive technologies make the switching power supply an ever more popular choice in the power conversion arena. This guide is designed to give the prospective designer an overview of the issues involved in designing switchmode power supplies. It describes the basic operation of the more popular topologies of switching power supplies, their relevant parameters, provides circuit design tips, and information on how to select the most appropriate semiconductor and passive components. The guide also lists the ON Semiconductor components expressly built for use in switching power supplies.

Linear versus Switching Power Supplies


Switching and linear regulators use fundamentally different techniques to produce a regulated output voltage from an unregulated input. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages, so the application will determine the most suitable choice. Linear power supplies can only step-down an input voltage to produce a lower output voltage. This is done by operating a bipolar transistor or MOSFET pass unit in its linear operating mode; that is, the drive to the pass unit is proportionally changed to maintain the required output voltage. Operating in this mode means that there is always a headroom voltage, Vdrop, between the input and the output. Consequently the regulator dissipates a considerable amount of power, given by (Vdrop Iload). This headroom loss causes the linear regulator to only be 35 to 65 percent efficient. For example, if a 5.0 V regulator has a 12 V input and is supplying 100 mA, it must dissipate 700 mW in the regulator in order to deliver 500 mW to the load , an efficiency of only 42 percent. The cost of the heatsink actually makes the linear regulator uneconomical above 10 watts for small applications. Below that point, however, linear regulators are cost-effective in step-down applications.

A low drop-out (LDO) regulator uses an improved output stage that can reduce Vdrop to considerably less than 1.0 V. This increases the efficiency and allows the linear regulator to be used in higher power applications. Designing with a linear regulator is simple and cheap, requiring few external components. A linear design is considerably quieter than a switcher since there is no high-frequency switching noise. Switching power supplies operate by rapidly switching the pass units between two efficient operating states: cutoff, where there is a high voltage across the pass unit but no current flow; and saturation, where there is a high current through the pass unit but at a very small voltage drop. Essentially, the semiconductor power switch creates an AC voltage from the input DC voltage. This AC voltage can then be stepped-up or down by transformers and then finally filtered back to DC at its output. Switching power supplies are much more efficient, ranging from 65 to 95 percent. The downside of a switching design is that it is considerably more complex. In addition, the output voltage contains switching noise, which must be removed for many applications. Although there are clear differences between linear and switching regulators, many applications require both types to be used. For example, a switching regulator may provide the initial regulation, then a linear regulator may provide post-regulation for a noise-sensitive part of the design, such as a sensor interface circuit.

Switching Power Supply Fundamentals


There are two basic types of pulse-width modulated (PWM) switching power supplies, forward-mode and boost-mode. They differ in the way the magnetic elements are operated. Each basic type has its advantages and disadvantages. The Forward-Mode Converter The forward-mode converter can be recognized by the presence of an L-C filter on its output. The L-C filter creates a DC output voltage, which is essentially the volt-time average of the L-C filter's input AC rectangular waveform. This can be expressed as:
Vout [ Vin @ duty cycle (eq. 1)

The switching power supply controller varies the duty cycle of the input rectangular voltage waveform and thus controls the signal's volt-time average. The buck or step-down converter is the simplest forward-mode converter, which is shown in Figure 1.

Its operation can be better understood when it is broken into two time periods: when the power switch is turned on and turned off. When the power switch is turned on, the input voltage is directly connected to the input of the L-C filter. Assuming that the converter is in a steady-state, there is the output voltage on the filter's output. The inductor current begins a linear ramp from an initial current dictated by the remaining flux in the inductor. The inductor current is given by:
iL(on) + (Vin * Vout) t ) iinit L 0 v t v ton (eq. 2)

clamped when the catch diode D becomes forward biased. The stored energy then continues flowing to the output through the catch diode and the inductor. The inductor current decreases from an initial value ipk and is given by:
V t iL(off) + ipk * out L 0 v t v toff (eq. 3)

During this period, energy is stored as magnetic flux within the core of the inductor. When the power switch is turned off, the core contains enough energy to supply the load during the following off period plus some reserve energy. When the power switch turns off, the voltage on the input side of the inductor tries to fly below ground, but is

The off period continues until the controller turns the power switch back on and the cycle repeats itself. The buck converter is capable of over one kilowatt of output power, but is typically used for on-board regulator applications whose output powers are less than 100 watts. Compared to the flyback-mode converter, the forward converter exhibits lower output peak-to-peak ripple voltage. The disadvantage is that it is a step-down topology only. Since it is not an isolated topology, for safety reasons the forward converter cannot be used for input voltages greater than 42.5 VDC.

SMPSRM The Flyback-Mode Converter The basic flyback-mode converter uses the same components as the basic forward-mode converter, but in a different configuration. Consequently, it operates in a
L D

different fashion from the forward-mode converter. The most elementary flyback-mode converter, the boost or step-up converter, is shown in Figure 2.

Again, its operation is best understood by considering the on and off periods separately. When the power switch is turned on, the inductor is connected directly across the input voltage source. The inductor current then rises from zero and is given by:
V t iL(on) + in L v t v 0on (eq. 4)

the output rectifier when its voltage exceeds the output voltage. The energy within the core of the inductor is then passed to the output capacitor. The inductor current during the off period has a negative ramp whose slope is given by:
iL(off) + (Vin * Vout) L (eq. 6)

Energy is stored within the flux in the core of the inductor. The peak current, ipk , occurs at the instant the power switch is turned off and is given by:
V t ipk + in on L (eq. 5)

When the power switch turns off, the switched side of the inductor wants to fly-up in voltage, but is clamped by

The energy is then completely emptied into the output capacitor and the switched terminal of the inductor falls back to the level of the input voltage. Some ringing is evident during this time due to residual energy flowing through parasitic elements such as the stray inductances and capacitances in the circuit.

SMPSRM When there is some residual energy permitted to remain within the inductor core, the operation is called continuous- mode. This can be seen in Figure 3. Energy for the entire on and off time periods must be stored within the inductor. The stored energy is defined by:
EL + 0.5L @ ipk2 (eq. 7)

The boost-mode inductor must store enough energy to supply the output load for the entire switching period (ton + toff). Also, boost-mode converters are typically limited
SWITCH VOLTAGE (VOLTS)

to a 50 percent duty cycle. There must be a time period when the inductor is permitted to empty itself of its energy. The boost converter is used for board-level (i.e., non-isolated) step-up applications and is limited to less than 100-150 watts due to high peak currents. Being a non-isolated converter, it is limited to input voltages of less than 42.5 VDC. Replacing the inductor with a transformer results in a flyback converter, which may be step-up or step-down. The transformer also provides dielectric isolation from input to output.

Common Switching Power Supply Topologies


A topology is the arrangement of the power devices and their magnetic elements. Each topology has its own merits within certain applications. There are five major factors to consider when selecting a topology for a particular application. These are: 1. Is input-to-output dielectric isolation required for the application? This is typically dictated by the safety regulatory bodies in effect in the region. 2. Are multiple outputs required? 3. Does the prospective topology place a reasonable voltage stress across the power semiconductors? 4. Does the prospective topology place a reasonable current stress upon the power semiconductors?

5. How much of the input voltage is placed across the primary transformer winding or inductor? Factor 1 is a safety-related issue. Input voltages above 42.5 VDC are considered hazardous by the safety regulatory agencies throughout the world. Therefore, only transformer-isolated topologies must be used above this voltage. These are the off-line applications where the power supply is plugged into an AC source such as a wall socket. Multiple outputs require a transformer-based topology. The input and output grounds may be connected together if the input voltage is below 42.5 VDC. Otherwise full dielectric isolation is required.

SMPSRM Factors 3, 4 and 5 have a direct affect upon the reliability of the system. Switching power supplies deliver constant power to the output load. This power is then reflected back to the input, so at low input voltages, the input current must be high to maintain the output power. Conversely, the higher the input voltage, the lower the input current. The design goal is to place as much as possible of the input voltage across the transformer or inductor so as to minimize the input current. Boost-mode topologies have peak currents that are about twice those found in forward-mode topologies. This makes them unusable at output powers greater than 100-150 watts. Cost is a major factor that enters into the topology decision. There are large overlaps in the performance boundaries between the topologies. Sometimes the most cost-effective choice is to purposely design one topology to operate in a region that usually is performed by another. This, though, may affect the reliability of the desired topology. Figure 4 shows where the common topologies are used for a given level of DC input voltage and required output power. Figures 5 through 12 show the common topologies. There are more topologies than shown, such as the Sepic and the Cuk, but they are not commonly used.

Interleaved Multiphase Converters


One method of increasing the output power of any topology and reducing the stresses upon the semiconductors, is a technique called interleaving. Any topology can be interleaved. An interleaved multiphase converter has two or more identical converters placed in parallel which share key components. For an n-phase converter, each converter is driven at a phase difference of 360/n degrees from the next. The output current from all the phases sum together at the output, requiring only Iout/n amperes from each phase.

The input and output capacitors are shared among the phases. The input capacitor sees less RMS ripple current because the peak currents are less and the combined duty cycle of the phases is greater than it would experience with a single phase converter. The output capacitor can be made smaller because the frequency of current waveform is n-times higher and its combined duty cycle is greater. The semiconductors also see less current stress. A block diagram of an interleaved multiphase buck converter is shown in Figure 13. This is a 2-phase topology that is useful in providing power to a high performance microprocessor.

Selecting the Method of Control


There are three major methods of controlling a switching power supply. There are also variations of these control methods that provide additional protection features. One should review these methods carefully and then carefully review the controller IC data sheets to
Table 1. Common Control Methods Used in ICs
Control Method Voltage-Mode OC Protection Average OC Pulse-by-Pulse OC Intrinsic Current-Mode Hysteric Voltage Hysteretic Average

select the one that is wanted. Table 1 summarizes the features of each of the popular methods of control. Certain methods are better adapted to certain topologies due to reasons of stability or transient response.

Response Time Slow Slow Rapid Rapid Slow

Preferred Topologies Forward-Mode Forward-Mode Boost-Mode Boost & Forward-Mode Boost & Forward-Mode

Voltage-mode control (see Figure 14) is typically used for forward-mode topologies. In voltage-mode control, only the output voltage is monitored. A voltage error signal is calculated by forming the difference between Vout (actual) and Vout(desired). This error signal is then fed into a comparator that compares it to the ramp voltage generated by the internal oscillator section of the control IC. The comparator thus converts the voltage error signal into the PWM drive signal to the power switch. Since the only control parameter is the output voltage, and there is inherent delay through the power circuit, voltage-mode control tends to respond slowly to input variations. Overcurrent protection for a voltage-mode controlled converter can either be based on the average output current or use a pulse-by-pulse method. In average overcurrent protection, the DC output current is monitored, and if a threshold is exceeded, the pulse width of the power switch is reduced. In pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection, the peak current of each power switch on cycle is monitored and the power switch is

instantly cutoff if its limits are exceeded. This offers better protection to the power switch. Current-mode control (see Figure 15) is typically used with boost-mode converters. Current-mode control monitors not only the output voltage, but also the output current. Here the voltage error signal is used to control the peak current within the magnetic elements during each power switch on-time. Current-mode control has a very rapid input and output response time, and has an inherent overcurrent protection. It is not commonly used for forward-mode converters; their current waveforms have much lower slopes in their current waveforms which can create jitter within comparators. Hysteretic control is a method of control which tries to keep a monitored parameter between two limits. There are hysteretic current and voltage control methods, but they are not commonly used. The designer should be very careful when reviewing a prospective control IC data sheet. The method of control and any variations are usually not clearly described on the first page of the data sheet.

The Choice of Semiconductors


Power Switches The choice of which semiconductor technology to use for the power switch function is influenced by many factors such as cost, peak voltage and current, frequency of operation, and heatsinking. Each technology has its own peculiarities that must be addressed during the design phase. There are three major power switch choices: the bipolar junction transistor (BJT), the power MOSFET, and the integrated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). The BJT was the first power switch to be used in this field and still offers many cost advantages over the others. It is also still used for very low cost or in high power switching converters. The maximum frequency of operation of bipolar transistors is less than 80-100 kHz because of some of their switching characteristics. The IGBT is used for high power switching converters, displacing many of the BJT applications. They too, though, have a slower switching characteristic which limits their frequency of operation to below 30 kHz typically although some can reach 100 kHz. IGBTs have smaller die areas than power MOSFETs of the same ratings, which typically means a lower cost. Power MOSFETs are used in the majority of applications due to their ease of use and their higher frequency capabilities. Each of the technologies will be reviewed.

The Bipolar Power Transistor


The BJT is a current driven device. That means that the base current is in proportion to the current drawn through the collector. So one must provide:
IB u IC hFE (eq. 8)

In power transistors, the average gain (hFE) exhibited at the higher collector currents is between 5 and 20. This could create a large base drive loss if the base drive circuit is not properly designed.
VBB

One should generate a gate drive voltage that is as close to 0.7 volts as possible. This is to minimize any loss created by dropping the base drive voltage at the required base current to the level exhibited by the base. A second consideration is the storage time exhibited by the collector during its turn-off transition. When the base is overdriven, or where the base current is more than needed to sustain the collector current, the collector exhibits a 0.3-2 ms delay in its turn-off which is proportional to the base overdrive. Although the storage time is not a major source of loss, it does significantly limit the maximum switching frequency of a bipolar-based switching power supply. There are two methods of reducing the storage time and increasing its switching time. The first is to use a base speed-up capacitor whose value, typically around 100 pF, is placed in parallel with the base current limiting resistor (Figure 16a). The second is to use proportional base drive (Figure 16b). Here, only the amount of needed base current is provided by the drive circuit by bleeding the excess around the base into the collector. The last consideration with BJTs is the risk of excessive second breakdown. This phenomenon is caused by the resistance of the base across the die, permitting the furthest portions of the collector to turn off later. This forces the current being forced through the collector by an inductive load, to concentrate at the opposite ends of the die, thus causing an excessive localized heating on the die. This can result in a short-circuit failure of the BJT which can happen instantaneously if the amount of current crowding is great, or it can happen later if the amount of heating is less. Current crowding is always present when an inductive load is attached to the collector. By switching the BJT faster, with the circuits in Figure 15, one can greatly reduce the effects of second breakdown on the reliability of the device.

The Power MOSFET


Power MOSFETs are the popular choices used as power switches and synchronous rectifiers. They are, on the surface, simpler to use than BJTs, but they have some hidden complexities. A simplified model for a MOSFET can be seen in Figure 17. The capacitances seen in the model are specified within the MOSFET data sheets, but can be nonlinear and vary with their applied voltages.

CDG Coss CGS

Figure 17. The MOSFET Model

From the gate terminal, there are two capacitances the designer encounters, the gate input capacitance (Ciss) and the drain-gate reverse capacitance (Crss). The gate input capacitance is a fixed value caused by the capacitance formed between the gate metalization and the substrate. Its value usually falls in the range of 800-3200 pF, depending upon the physical construction of the MOSFET. The Crss is the capacitance between the drain and the gate, and has values in the range of 60-150 pF. Although the Crss is smaller, it has a much more pronounced effect upon the gate drive. It couples the drain voltage to the gate, thus dumping its stored charge into the gate input capacitance. The typical gate drive waveforms can be seen in Figure 18. Time period t1 is only the Ciss being charged or discharged by the impedance of the external gate drive circuit. Period t2 shows the effect of the changing drain voltage being coupled into the gate through Crss. One can readily observe the flattening of the gate drive voltage during this period, both during the turn-on and turn-off of the MOSFET. Time period t3 is the amount of overdrive voltage provided by the drive circuit but not really needed by the MOSFET.

SMPSRM The time needed to switch the MOSFET between on and off states is dependent upon the impedance of the gate drive circuit. It is very important that the drive circuit be bypassed with a capacitor that will keep the drive voltage constant over the drive period. A 0.1 mF capacitor is more than sufficient. Driving MOSFETs in Switching Power Supply Applications There are three things that are very important in the high frequency driving of MOSFETs: there must be a totem-pole driver; the drive voltage source must be well bypassed; and the drive devices must be able to source high levels of current in very short periods of time (low compliance). The optimal drive circuit is shown in Figure 19.

SMPSRM Sometimes it is necessary to provide a dielectrically-isolated drive to a MOSFET. This is provided by a drive transformer. Transformers driven from a DC source must be capacitively coupled from the totem-pole driver circuit. The secondary winding must be capacitively coupled to the gate with a DC restoration circuit. Both of the series capacitors must be more than 10 times the value of the Ciss of the MOSFET so that the capacitive voltage divider that is formed by the series capacitors does not cause an excessive attenuation. The circuit can be seen in Figure 20.

The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)


The IGBT is a hybrid device with a MOSFET as the input device, which then drives a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) as a switched output device. The SCR is constructed such that it does not exhibit the latching characteristic of a typical SCR by making its feedback gain less than 1. The die area of the typical IGBT is less than one-half that of an identically rated power MOSFET, which makes it less expensive for high-power converters. The only drawback is the turn-off characteristic of the IGBT. Being a bipolar minority carrier device, charges must be removed from the P-N junctions during a turn-off condition. This causes a current tail at the end of the turn-off transition of the current waveform. This can be a significant loss because the voltage across the IGBT is very high at that moment. This makes the IGBT useful only for frequencies typically less than 20 kHz, or for exceptional IGBTs, 100 kHz. To drive an IGBT one uses the MOSFET drive circuits shown in Figures 18 and 19. Driving the IGBT gate faster makes very little difference in the performance of an IGBT, so some reduction in drive currents can be used. The voltage drop of across the collector-to-emitter (VCE) terminals is comparable to those found in Darlington BJTs and MOSFETs operated at high currents. The typical VCE of an IGBT is a flat 1.5-2.2 volts. MOSFETs, acting more resistive, can have voltage drops of up to 5 volts at the end of some high current ramps. This makes the IGBT, in high current environments, very comparable to MOSFETs in applications of less than 5-30 kHz.

Rectifiers Rectifiers represent about 60 percent of the losses in nonsynchronous switching power supplies. Their choice has a very large effect on the efficiency of the power supply. The significant rectifier parameters that affect the operation of switching power supplies are: forward voltage drop (Vf), which is the voltage across the diode when a forward current is flowing the reverse recovery time (trr), which is how long it requires a diode to clear the minority charges from its junction area and turn off when a reverse voltage is applied the forward recovery time (tfrr) which is how long it take a diode to begin to conduct forward current after a forward voltage is applied. There are four choices of rectifier technologies: standard, fast and ultra-fast recovery types, and Schottky barrier types. A standard recovery diode is only suitable for 50-60 Hz rectification due to its slow turn-off characteristics. These include common families such as the 1N4000 series diodes. Fast-recovery diodes were first used in switching power supplies, but their turn-off time is considered too slow for most modern applications. They may find application where low cost is paramount, however. Ultra-fast recovery diodes turn off quickly and have a forward voltage drop of 0.8 to 1.3 V, together with a high reverse voltage capability of up to 1000 V. A Schottky rectifier turns off very quickly and has an average forward voltage drop of between 0.35 and 0.8 V, but has a low reverse breakdown voltage and

SMPSRM a high reverse leakage current. For a typical switching power supply application, the best choice is usually a Schottky rectifier for output voltages less than 12 V, and an ultra-fast recovery diode for all other output voltages. The major losses within output rectifiers are conduction losses and switching losses. The conduction loss is the forward voltage drop times the current flowing through it during its conduction period. This can be significant if its voltage drop and current are high. The switching losses are determined by how fast a diode turns off (trr) times the reverse voltage across the rectifier. This can be significant for high output voltages and currents.

The characteristics of power rectifiers and their applications in switching power supplies are covered in great detail in Reference (5). The major losses within output rectifiers are conduction losses and switching losses. The conduction loss is the forward voltage drop times the current flowing through it during its conduction period. This can be significant if its voltage drop and current are high. The switching losses are determined by how fast a diode turns off (trr) times the reverse voltage across the rectifier. This can be significant for high output voltages and currents.

The Magnetic Components


The magnetic elements within a switching power supply are used either for stepping-up or down a switched AC voltage, or for energy storage. In forward-mode topologies, the transformer is only used for stepping-up or down the AC voltage generated by the power switches. The output filter (the output inductor and capacitor) in forward-mode topologies is used for energy storage. In boost-mode topologies, the transformer is used both for energy storage and to provide a step-up or step-down function. Many design engineers consider the magnetic elements of switching power supplies counter-intuitive or too complicated to design. Fortunately, help is at hand; the suppliers of magnetic components have applications engineers who are quite capable of performing the transformer design and discussing the tradeoffs needed for success. For those who are more experienced or more adventuresome, please refer to Reference 2 in the Bibliography for transformer design guidelines. The general procedure in the design of any magnetic component is as follows (Reference 2, p 42): 1. Select an appropriate core material for the application and the frequency of operation. 2. Select a core form factor that is appropriate for the application and that satisfies applicable regulatory requirements. 3. Determine the core cross-sectional area necessary to handle the required power 4. Determine whether an airgap is needed and calculate the number of turns needed for each winding. Then determine whether the accuracy of the output voltages meets the requirements and whether the windings will fit into the selected core size. 5. Wind the magnetic component using proper winding techniques. 6. During the prototype stage, verify the component's operation with respect to the level of voltage spikes, cross-regulation, output accuracy and ripple, RFI, etc., and make corrections were necessary. The design of any magnetic component is a calculated estimate. There are methods of stretching the design limits for smaller size or lower losses, but these tend to be diametrically opposed to one another. One should be cautious when doing this. Some useful sources for magnetics components are:

Laying Out the Printed Circuit Board


The printed circuit board (PCB) layout is the third critical portion of every switching power supply design in addition to the basic design and the magnetics design. Improper layout can adversely affect RFI radiation, component reliability, efficiency and stability. Every PCB layout will be different, but if the designer appreciates the common factors present in all switching power supplies, the process will be simplified. All PCB traces exhibit inductance and resistance. These can cause high voltage transitions whenever there is a high rate of change in current flowing through the trace. For operational amplifiers sharing a trace with power signals, it means that the supply would be impossible to stabilize. For traces that are too narrow for the current flowing through them, it means a voltage drop from one end of the trace to the other which potentially can be an antenna for RFI. In addition, capacitive coupling between adjacent traces can interfere with proper circuit operation. There are two rules of thumb for PCB layouts: short and fat for all power-carrying traces and one point grounding for the various ground systems within a switching power supply. Traces that are short and fat minimize the inductive and resistive aspects of the trace, thus reducing noise within the circuits and RFI. Single-point grounding keeps the noise sources separated from the sensitive control circuits.

SMPSRM Within all switching power supplies, there are four major current loops. Two of the loops conduct the high-level AC currents needed by the supply. These are the power switch AC current loop and the output rectifier AC current loop. The currents are the typical trapezoidal current pulses with very high peak currents and very rapid di/dts. The other two current loops are the input source and the output load current loops, which carry low frequency current being supplied from the voltage source and to the load respectively. For the power switch AC current loop, current flows from the input filter capacitor through the inductor or transformer winding, through the power switch and back to the negative pin of the input capacitor. Similarly, the output rectifier current loop's current flows from the inductor or secondary transformer winding, through the
Power Switch Current Loop Input Current Loop SW

rectifier to the output filter capacitor and back to the inductor or winding. The filter capacitors are the only components that can source and sink the large levels of AC current in the time needed by the switching power supply. The PCB traces should be made as wide and as short as possible, to minimize resistive and inductive effects. These traces should be the first to be laid out. Turning to the input source and output load current loops, both of these loops must be connected directly to their respective filter capacitor's terminals, otherwise switching noise could bypass the filtering action of the capacitor and escape into the environment. This noise is called conducted interference. These loops can be seen in Figure 21 for the two major forms of switching power supplies, non-isolated (Figure 21a) and transformer-isolated (Figure 21b).

SMPSRM The grounds are extremely important to the proper operation of the switching power supply, since they form the reference connections for the entire supply; each ground has its own unique set of signals which can adversely affect the operation of the supply if connected improperly. There are five distinct grounds within the typical switching power supply. Four of them form the return paths for the current loops described above. The remaining ground is the low-level analog control ground which is critical for the proper operation of the supply. The grounds which are part of the major current loops must be connected together exactly as shown in Figure 21. Here again, the connecting point between the high-level AC grounds and the input or output grounds is at the negative terminal of the appropriate filter capacitor (points A and B in Figures 21a and 21b). Noise on the AC grounds can very easily escape into the environment if the grounds are not directly connected to the negative terminal of the filter capacitor(s). The analog control ground must be connected to the point where the control IC and associated circuitry must measure key power parameters, such as AC or DC current and the output voltage (point C in Figures 21a and 21b). Here any noise introduced by large AC signals within the AC grounds will sum directly onto the low-level control parameters and greatly affect the operation of the supply. The purpose of connecting the control ground to the lower side of the current sensing resistor or the output voltage resistor divider is to form a Kelvin contact where any common mode noise is not sensed by the control circuit. In short, follow the example given by Figure 21 exactly as shown for best results. The last important factor in the PCB design is the layout surrounding the AC voltage nodes. These are the drain of the power MOSFET (or collector of a BJT) and the anode of the output rectifier(s). These nodes can capacitively couple into any trace on different layers of the PCB that run underneath the AC pad. In surface mount designs, these nodes also need to be large enough to provide heatsinking for the power switch or rectifier. This is at odds with the desire to keep the pad as small as possible to discourage capacitive coupling to other traces. One good compromise is to make all layers below the AC node identical to the AC node and connect them with many vias (plated-through holes). This greatly increases the thermal mass of the pad for improved heatsinking and locates any surrounding traces off laterally where the coupling capacitance is much smaller. An example of this can be seen in Figure 22. Many times it is necessary to parallel filter capacitors to reduce the amount of RMS ripple current each capacitor experiences. Close attention should be paid to this layout. If the paralleled capacitors are in a line, the capacitor closest to the source of the ripple current will operate hotter than the others, shortening its operating life; the others will not see this level of AC current. To ensure that they will evenly share the ripple current, ideally, any paralleled capacitors should be laid out in a radially-symmetric manner around the current source, typically a rectifier or power switch. The PCB layout, if not done properly, can ruin a good paper design. It is important to follow these basic guidelines and monitor the layout every step of the process.

Losses and Stresses in Switching Power Supplies


Much of the designer's time during a switching power supply design is spent in identifying and minimizing the losses within the supply. Most of the losses occur in the power components within the switching power supply. Some of these losses can also present stresses to the power semiconductors which may affect the long term reliability of the power supply, so knowing where they arise and how to control them is important. Whenever there is a simultaneous voltage drop across a component with a current flowing through, there is a loss. Some of these losses are controllable by modifying
VPEAK

the circuitry, and some are controlled by simply selecting a different part. Identifying the major sources for loss can be as easy as placing a finger on each of the components in search of heat, or measuring the currents and voltages associated with each power component using an oscilloscope, AC current probe and voltage probe. Semiconductor losses fall into two categories: conduction losses and switching losses. The conduction loss is the product of the terminal voltage and current during the power device's on period. Examples of conduction losses are the saturation voltage of a bipolar power transistor and the on loss of a power MOSFET shown in Figure 23 and Figure 24 respectively.

SMPSRM The forward conduction loss of a rectifier is shown in Figure 25. During turn-off, the rectifier exhibits a reverse recovery loss where minority carriers trapped within the P-N junction must reverse their direction and exit the junction after a reverse voltage is applied. This results in what appears to be a current flowing in reverse through the diode with a high reverse terminal voltage. The switching loss is the instantaneous product of the terminal voltage and current of a power device when it is transitioning between operating states (on-to-off and off-to-on). Here, voltages are transitional between full-on and cutoff states while simultaneously the current is transitional between full-on and cut-off states. This
DIODE VOLTAGE (VOLTS)

creates a very large V-I product which is as significant as the conduction losses. Switching losses are also the major frequency dependent loss within every PWM switching power supply. The loss-induced heat generation causes stress within the power component. This can be minimized by an effective thermal design. For bipolar power transistors, however, excessive switching losses can also provide a lethal stress to the transistor in the form of second breakdown and current crowding failures. Care should be taken in the careful analysis of each transistor's Forward Biased-Safe Operating Area (FBSOA) and Reverse Biased-Safe Operating Area (RBSOA) operation.

Techniques to Improve Efficiency in Switching Power Supplies


The reduction of losses is important to the efficient operation of a switching power supply, and a great deal of time is spent during the design phase to minimize these losses. Some common techniques are described below. The Synchronous Rectifier As output voltages decrease, the losses due to the output rectifier become increasingly significant. For Vout = 3.3 V, a typical Schottky diode forward voltage of 0.4 V leads to a 12% loss of efficiency. Synchronous

rectification is a technique to reduce this conduction loss by using a switch in place of the diode. The synchronous rectifier switch is open when the power switch is closed, and closed when the power switch is open, and is typically a MOSFET inserted in place of the output rectifier. To prevent crowbar current that would flow if both switches were closed at the same time, the switching scheme must be break-before-make. Because of this, a diode is still required to conduct the initial current during the interval between the opening of the main switch and the closing of the synchronous rectifier switch. A Schottky rectifier with a current rating of 30 percent of

25

SMPSRM the MOSFET should be placed in parallel with the synchronous MOSFET. The MOSFET does contain a parasitic body diode that could conduct current, but it is lossy, slow to turn off, and can lower efficiency by 1% to 2%. The lower turn-on voltage of the Schottky prevents the parasitic diode from ever conducting and exhibiting its poor reverse recovery characteristic. Using synchronous rectification, the conduction voltage can be reduced from 400 mV to 100 mV or less. An improvement of 1-5 percent can be expected for the
Vin

typical switching power supply. The synchronous rectifier can be driven either actively, that is directly controlled from the control IC, or passively, driven from other signals within the power circuit. It is very important to provide a non-overlapping drive between the power switch(es) and the synchronous rectifier(s) to prevent any shoot-through currents. This dead time is usually between 50 to 100 ns. Some typical circuits can be seen in Figure 26.

SMPSRM Snubbers and Clamps Snubbers and clamps are used for two very different purposes. When misapplied, the reliability of the semiconductors within the power supply is greatly jeopardized. A snubber is used to reduce the level of a voltage spike and decrease the rate of change of a voltage waveform. This then reduces the amount of overlap of the voltage and current waveforms during a transition, thus reducing the switching loss. This has its benefits in the Safe Operating Area (SOA) of the semiconductors, and it reduces emissions by lowering the spectral content of any RFI. A clamp is used only for reducing the level of a voltage spike. It has no affect on the dV/dt of the transition. Therefore it is not very useful for reducing RFI. It is useful for preventing components such as semiconductors and capacitors from entering avalanche breakdown. Bipolar power transistors suffer from current crowding which is an instantaneous failure mode. If a voltage spike occurs during the turn-off voltage transition of greater than 75 percent of its VCEO rating, it may have too much current crowding stress. Here both the rate of change of the voltage and the peak voltage of the spike must be controlled. A snubber is needed to bring the transistor within its RBSOA (Reverse Bias Safe Operating Area) rating. Typical snubber and clamp circuits are shown in Figure 27. The effects that these have on a representative switching waveform are shown in Figure 28.

SMPSRM The Lossless Snubber A lossless snubber is a snubber whose trapped energy is recovered by the power circuit. The lossless snubber is designed to absorb a fixed amount of energy from the transition of a switched AC voltage node. This energy is stored in a capacitor whose size dictates how much energy the snubber can absorb. A typical implementation of a lossless snubber can be seen in Figure 29. The design for a lossless snubber varies from topology to topology and for each desired transition. Some adaptation may be necessary for each circuit. The important factors in the design of a lossless snubber are: 1. The snubber must have initial conditions that allow it to operate during the desired transition and at the desired voltages. Lossless snubbers should be emptied of their energy prior to the desired transition. The voltage to which it is reset dictates where the snubber will begin to operate. So if the snubber is reset to the input voltage, then it will act as a lossless clamp which will remove any spikes above the input voltage. 2. When the lossless snubber is reset, the energy should be returned to the input capacitor or back into the output power path. Study the supply carefully. Returning the energy to the input capacitor allows the supply to use the energy again on the next cycle. Returning the energy to ground in a boostmode supply does not return the energy for reuse, but acts as a shunt current path around the power switch. Sometimes additional transformer windings are used. 3. The reset current waveform should be band limited with a series inductor to prevent additional EMI from being generated. Use of a 2 to 3 turn spiral PCB inductor is sufficient to greatly lower the di/dt of the energy exiting the lossless snubber.

An active clamp for a flyback converter is shown in Figure 30. In Figure 30, the active clamp is reset (or emptied of its stored energy) just prior to the turn-off transition. It is then disabled during the negative transition. Obviously, the implementation of an active clamp is more expensive than other approaches, and is usually reserved for very compact power supplies where heat is a critical issue.

SMPSRM Quasi-Resonant Topologies A quasi-resonant topology is designed to reduce or eliminate the frequency-dependent switching losses within the power switches and rectifiers. Switching losses account for about 40% of the total loss within a PWM power supply and are proportional to the switching frequency. Eliminating these losses allows the designer to increase the operating frequency of the switching power supply and so use smaller inductors and capacitors, reducing size and weight. In addition, RFI levels are reduced due to the controlled rate of change of current or voltage. The downside to quasi-resonant designs is that they are more complex than non-resonant topologies due to parasitic RF effects that must be considered when
ILR LR LO

switching frequencies are in the 100's of kHz. Schematically, quasi-resonant topologies are minor modifications of the standard PWM topologies. A resonant tank circuit is added to the power switch section to make either the current or the voltage ring through a half a sinusoid waveform. Since the sinusoid starts at zero and ends at zero, the product of the voltage and current at the starting and ending points is zero, thus has no switching loss. There are two quasi-resonant methods: zero current switching (ZCS) or zero voltage switching (ZVS). ZCS is a fixed on-time, variable off-time method of control. ZCS starts from an initial condition where the power switch is off and no current is flowing through the resonant inductor. The ZCS quasi-resonant buck converter is shown in Figure 31.

SMPSRM In this design, both the power switch and the catch diode operate in a zero current switching mode. Power is passed to the output during the resonant periods. So to increase the power delivered to the load, the frequency would increase, and vice versa for decreasing loads. In typical designs the frequency can change 10:1 over the ZCS supply's operating range. The ZVS is a fixed off-time, variable on-time method control. Here the initial condition occurs when the power switch is on, and the familiar current ramp is flowing through the filter inductor. The ZVS quasi-resonant buck converter is shown in Figure 32. Here, to control the power delivered to the load, the amount of resonant off times are varied. For light loads, the frequency is high. When the load is heavy, the frequency drops. In a typical ZVS power supply, the frequency typically varies 4:1 over the entire operating range of the supply. There are other variations on the resonant theme that promote zero switching losses, such as full resonant PWM, full and half-bridge topologies for higher power and resonant transition topologies. For a more detailed treatment, see Chapter 4 in the Power Supply Cookbook (Bibliography reference 2).

Power Factor Correction


Power Factor (PF) is defined as the ratio of real power to apparent power. In a typical AC power supply application where both the voltage and current are sinusoidal, the PF is given by the cosine of the phase angle between the input current and the input voltage and is a measure of how much of the current contributes to real power in the load. A power factor of unity indicates that 100% of the current is contributing to power in the load while a power factor of zero indicates that none of the current contributes to power in the load. Purely resistive loads have a power factor of unity; the current through them is directly proportional to the applied voltage. The current in an ac line can be thought of as consisting of two components: real and imaginary. The real part results in power absorbed by the load while the imaginary part is power being reflected back into the source, such as is the case when current and voltage are of opposite polarity and their product, power, is negative. It is important to have a power factor as close as possible to unity so that none of the delivered power is reflected back to the source. Reflected power is undesirable for three reasons: 1. The transmission lines or power cord will generate heat according to the total current being carried, the real part plus the reflected part. This causes problems for the electric utilities and has prompted various regulations

requiring all electrical equipment connected to a low voltage distribution system to minimize current harmonics and maximize power factor. 2. The reflected power not wasted in the resistance of the power cord may generate unnecessary heat in the source (the local step-down transformer), contributing to premature failure and constituting a fire hazard. 3. Since the ac mains are limited to a finite current by their circuit breakers, it is desirable to get the most power possible from the given current available. This can only happen when the power factor is close to or equal to unity. The typical AC input rectification circuit is a diode bridge followed by a large input filter capacitor. During the time that the bridge diodes conduct, the AC line is driving an electrolytic capacitor, a nearly reactive load. This circuit will only draw current from the input lines when the input's voltage exceeds the voltage of the filter capacitor. This leads to very high currents near the peaks of the input AC voltage waveform as seen in Figure 33. Since the conduction periods of the rectifiers are small, the peak value of the current can be 3-5 times the average input current needed by the equipment. A circuit breaker only senses average current, so it will not trip when the peak current becomes unsafe, as found in many office areas. This can present a fire hazard. In three-phase distribution systems, these current peaks sum onto the neutral line, not meant to carry this kind of current, which again presents a fire hazard.

SMPSRM A Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit is a switching power converter, essentially a boost converter with a very wide input range, that precisely controls its input current on an instantaneous basis to match the waveshape and phase of the input voltage. This represents a zero degrees or 100 percent power factor and mimics a purely resistive load. The amplitude of the input current waveform is varied over longer time frames to maintain a constant voltage at the converter's output filter capacitor. This mimics a resistor which slowly changes value to absorb the correct amount of power to meet the demand of the load. Short term energy excesses and deficits caused by sudden changes in the load are supplemented by a bulk energy storage capacitor, the boost converter's output filter device. The PFC input filter capacitor is reduced to a few microfarads, thus placing a half-wave haversine waveshape into the PFC converter. The PFC boost converter can operate down to about 30 V before there is insufficient voltage to draw any more significant power from its input. The converter then can begin again when the input haversine reaches 30 V on the next half-wave haversine. This greatly increases the conduction angle of the input rectifiers. The drop-out region of the PFC converter is then filtered (smoothed) by the input EMI filter. A PFC circuit not only ensures that no power is reflected back to the source, it also eliminates the high current pulses associated with conventional rectifier-filter input circuits. Because heat lost in the transmission line and adjacent circuits is proportional to the square of the current in the line, short strong current
Switch Current Input Voltage I Vsense Csmall
Control

pulses generate more heat than a purely resistive load of the same power. The active power factor correction circuit is placed just following the AC rectifier bridge. An example can be seen in Figure 34. Depending upon how much power is drawn by the unit, there is a choice of three different common control modes. All of the schematics for the power sections are the same, but the value of the PFC inductor and the control method are different. For input currents of less than 150 watts, a discontinuous-mode control scheme is typically used, in which the PFC core is completely emptied prior to the next power switch conduction cycle. For powers between 150 and 250 watts, the critical conduction mode is recommended. This is a method of control where the control IC senses just when the PFC core is emptied of its energy and the next power switch conduction cycle is immediately begun; this eliminates any dead time exhibited in the discontinuous-mode of control. For an input power greater than 250 watts, the continuous-mode of control is recommended. Here the peak currents can be lowered by the use of a larger inductor, but a troublesome reverse recovery characteristic of the output rectifier is encountered, which can add an additional 20-40 percent in losses to the PFC circuit. Many countries cooperate in the coordination of their power factor requirements. The most appropriate document is IEC61000-3-2, which encompasses the performance of generalized electronic products. There are more detailed specifications for particular products made for special markets.
